Universal
TPE 1: Engaging and Supporting and Students in Learning
1.3 Connect subject matter to real-life contexts and provide active learning experiences to engage student interest, support student motivation, and allow students to extend their learning.
1.4 Use a variety of developmentally and ability-appropriate instructional strategies, resources, and assistive technology, including principles of Universal Design of Learning (UDL) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to support access to the curriculum for a wide range of learners within the general education classroom and environment.
Mild Moderate Support Needs
1.1 Demonstrate the ability to collaboratively develop and implement Individualized Education Programs (IEP), including instructional goals that ensure access to the Common Core State Standards and California Preschool Learning Foundations, as appropriate, that lead to effective inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education core curriculum.
1.3 Demonstrate knowledge of students’ language development across disabilities and the life span, including typical and atypical language development, communication skills, social pragmatics, the hierarchy of brain based learning skills (e.g. executive functioning) and vocabulary/semantic development as they relate to the acquisition of academic knowledge and
1.6 Facilitate and support students in assuming increasing responsibility for learning and self-advocacy based on individual needs, with appropriate transitions between academic levels in programs and developing skills related to career, college, independent living and community participation. [1.3]
1.7 Use strategies to support positive psychosocial development and self-determined behavior of students with disabilities. [1.1]
Narrative
The visual I created for my French Revolution lesson will support all students in my freshman (World History) classroom (considering their background experiences, academic/behavioral/social/emotional goals, English Learners, and the content standard to be taught). The content standard of focus for this particular lesson will be to determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary describing political, social, or economic aspects of history/social science (MMSN1.1) (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.4). My ingredients chart includes several key words and phrases such as; Tax, Tax Levy and Enlightenment that describe political, social and economic aspects of history.
While reviewing the ingredients chart, I will engage my students by including them in real-life scenarios (U1.3). “For example,”, I will begin with unequally distributing monopoly money to each student and then provide a student with a Burger King crown (assigning him or her King or Queen). Next, I will issue each student an index card with the amount of taxes they are required to pay to the King or Queen. Most students will be left with very little money while only a few students will still have the majority of their money. This active learning experience will support student motivation and allow students to extend their learning.
